I couldn\u2019t stop smiling, I felt like I was on a high!\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sharon is 49 and came to Aria Medical Group with the desire to have the loose skin under her eyes removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Since I was about 16 years old I have had these bags. I think it is hereditary in my family\u2019 explains Sharon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve been conscious of them since I was a teenager, so having this procedure has meant so much to me. I have lived with the issue my whole adult life. I still remember how when I was young someone was cruel and said I had \u2018suitcases\u2019 under my eyes, not bags! That has lived with me all these years.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018People would comment on how tired I looked, yet I felt fine!\u00a0 It was just the loose skin under my eyes that made my face look older and more tired than it really was.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When I moved to Spain I became a weight-loss and diet consultant for a leading company and I managed to lose over 12 kilos and I was really pleased with the way I looked and felt. Yet I still had the bags under my eyes, so it just seemed to me to be the right time to go ahead and have the procedure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So I decided to make the first move and book a consultation. I asked friends for recommendations of cosmetic surgeons; I felt that since I was having cosmetic surgery on my face it had to be a success. There would be no way of hiding a problem, so I wanted to feel good about who I chose. The recommendations led back to Dr. Marco Vricella, at Aria Medical Group.<\/p>\n<p>During the consultation with Dr. Vricella I discussed what I wanted and asked about the procedure. He examined me and suggested I also consider an upper blepharoplasty as well. If I had the two procedures at the same time it would be better value and the result would be better. It didn\u2019t feel like a sales pitch, it just made me think that yes, my loose skin above my eyes also needed to be sorted.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The whole experience of the consultation was excellent. It really helped me that Louise Truelove, the chief patient care coordinator had also had a blepharoplasty a few years before, so she was able to show me her before and after photos and also talk to me about her first-hand experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Tanya the nurse was also friendly and helpful and Dr. Marco Vricella is a really professional doctor \u2013 all together I just felt confident and happy to go ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018As I was having both an upper and lower blepharoplasty, I had a general aesthetic. Dr. Vricella advised me that it would not be possible to get rid of 100% of the loose skin of the lower bags, without giving me a very unnatural result, as otherwise there is a risk that with the skin pulled too tight the shape of the eyes can change slightly. So I was really pleased he considered this and wanted to give me a natural, healthy looking result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018I really felt looked after throughout. For example, I had my op at 10 am and then later that day at 9pm Dr Vricella visited me in my private room to check everything was alright. I felt that Aria Medical\u2019s aftercare was amazing. Louise and Tanya were also always available.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about this procedure now, only 3 weeks after the surgery, and already the results are amazing. I didn\u2019t really bruise, but I did follow all the advice about keeping ice packs on the area and dabbing a special cream on the bruises etc. I think that all really helped.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The small stiches were covered with plasters, so I could open and close my eyes as normal and see normally.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And what\u2019s more I didn\u2019t really feel any pain. The night after the surgery, when I was in the private hospital I did have an intravenous painkiller and then the next day Tanya the nurse offered advice for my own aftercare and pain relief.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So I tried to take it easy; I didn\u2019t drive for a while and I planned the operation for when I could take time off for a week. But overall I didn\u2019t really feel any significant discomfort.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Now I just have to have another check up in a few weeks\u2019 time and then again in a few months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018It actually took a week before I could see the initial results. I had to wait for the plasters to be removed and the stitches taken out. I have to say the worse part of the procedure was my concern about the pain of having the stitches out! I was really worried about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Yet Tanya the nurse understood the concerns and really took it slowly so I didn\u2019t have any pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Then she handed me a mirror so I could take a look, I just felt \u2018wow\u2019; it was fabulous, I was so happy with the results!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Then the scars were covered with healing tape for a few days. From then on I was able to wear light make-up and carry on as normal.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That first week or so after the surgery I was just SO excited, so happy that I had go ahead and finally done it.\u00a0 Finally after all these years I was without my eye bags.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t stop smiling, I felt like I was on a high!<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This op was just so important for me. It was not about a superficial desire to be prettier. I just wanted to rid myself of those eye bags which I had lived with all my adult life.<\/p>\n<p>Now, a few weeks later I think the results are amazing. The incision scar now is just a small, fine line which will reduce even more with time.<\/p>\n<p>As a woman about to be 50 I think the result looks really natural, my face doesn\u2019t look fake. My eyes look the same, but \u00a0my face looks healthier and not tired anymore.<\/p>\n<p>So I have to say I am thrilled with the results.<\/p>\n<p>I am so happy that I have been sharing my after photos and experience on Facebook with my friends and family and the response has been amazing. Many woman have messaged me privately to find out more as they are so impressed.<\/p>\n<p>Although friends and family would be polite before, and say I didn\u2019t need surgery, but now everyone agrees that the results are amazing and I really look better for it.<\/p>\n<p>I am personally full of confidence \u2013 it\u2019s the best thing I have done for myself.<\/p>\n<p>The whole experience from start to finish has been brilliant; I just can\u2019t praise Aria Medical Group and Dr. Marco Vricella and his team enough.<\/p>\n<p>I am also so happy that I went ahead with the upper blepharoplasty as well \u2013 it was the best advice.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Client: Sharon Procedure: Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty \u2018That first week or so after the surgery I was just SO excited, so happy that I had gone ahead and finally done it!\u00a0 Finally after all these years I was without my eye bags.
